Message

At MessageMedia, I partner with the CTO and product leadership to improve agile delivery and execution. I lead cross-functional teams through sprint planning and delivery, and work with product owners to prioritise work and manage dependencies.

I track delivery health, identify risks early and remove blockers. I also set team OKRs and coach team members as they build their capabilities.

At Orient Software, I worked directly with end clients and managed software delivery across projects and maintenance work. I aligned development and test execution with business priorities and supported team members' career growth.

Earlier, I worked across development, QA and project management. At Conexus, I helped grow a team for a large education platform, while at AxonActive I managed Agile teams and coached them in Scrum and DevOps.
